NEW YORK (WNS) — The disengagement accord' reached between Israel and Syria was hailed by national Jewish leaders as another important step on the road to peace in the Middle East and a notable achievement of American diplomatic efforts, especially those of Secretary of State Henry A. Kissinger. The Jewish leaders added that there are still hurdles to overcome in reaching final, and total peace for Israel and her Arab neighbors. Two of the Jewish leaders, Rabbi Israel Miller, chairman of the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organization, and Rabbi Arthur Hertzberg, president of the American Jewish Congress, said the next step on the agenda must be the rescue of Syrian Jewry. In Damascus,.Syrian Jews are reported hopeful that the disengagement accord may lead to the lifting of restrictions imposed on the Jewish community.

Reject Soviet Claim That International Scientific Seminar Is "Provacative Action"
NEW YORK (JTA) - A Soviet claim that an in¬ ternational scientific seminar is a "provocative action of certain circles" was rejected on May 28 by a spokesman for the In¬ ternational Secretaries of the International Seminar which is sponsoring the event. Prof. Edward Stern of the University of Michigan affirmed that the seminary is "a purely scientific gathering, being conducted, in accordance with usual' international scientific standards, and is in no way a 'provocative action,'" and that this characterization represents "a distortion of the character and purposes
of the seminar," The un¬ precedented seminar, sponsored by an advisory board of eminent scientists, including eight j Nobel Laureates and the Tel Aviv University, was scheduled for July 1-5 in the Moscow home of the prominent Jewish scientist Alexander Voronel. The State Com¬ mittee for Science and Technology, the scientific arm of the Soviet Council of
Ministers, has disowned the seminar and Soviet authorities have indicated that 'the seminar will be opposed. Dr. Stern, in pointing to the world famous scientists who constitute the International Board of Sponsors and Advisor, stated that this is "evidence of the international scientific community's support for the right of all scientists not only

Respon¬ sibilities no less important , were carried out by the , Council of Organizations,
whose collective respon¬ sibility it was to "bring^out their membership" andlhe Teenage Board which provided the signs and distributed material during the program.
According to Mrs. Sylvia Mellmah, Chairman of the Council Of Organizations, "It should be clearly stated that no event can be guaranteed a success without the effort and committment of the entire community. From i the women who i>;i manned telephones which informed their membership of the rally, to the leadership
which contacted those public officials who spoke, one without the other insures- failure. It is the combination of professional staff, volunteer and community concern that insures a successful event.!'
Mrs. Mellman went on to say that initially "There was some question as to the purpose and form of our protest. Some asked, why a rally?, The purpose of a public forum was at least two-fold. First, the barbaric act that murdered innocents was so awful it was felt that nothing short of a com-
